Biochemic Remedies

You must be aware that our body needs essential vital nutrients like vitamins and minerals to maintain good health. Each of these nutrients has an important role to play, to ensure smooth functioning of our body system. Similarly, in homeopathy, there are some essential minerals called bio-chemic remedies or twelve tissue remedies that are widely used for treating various medical conditions.

Dr. William Schussler, a biochemist from Germany, recognized and classified these twelve essential mineral salts. He went ahead to develop this concept and discovered the use of these mineral salts to treat medical ailments, which is now a full-fledged practice.

Principle of Biochemic Remedies

There are certain inorganic salts like magnesium, potassium, lime, iron, silica in our body. Dr. Schussler studied the effects of these inorganic salts on human body and proved that these are the essential minerals for our body. They form the basis of every tissue in our body. Any imbalance or shortage of any of these tissue salts can affect our health; eventually causing some kind of deficiency or illness.

When these tissue salts are made available, the imbalance or the shortage can be made up and the disease can be eliminated, thus restoring our health. Biochemic remedies aid the nature’s law of cure by supplying the natural remedies that certain tissues are deficient of. Simply put, by restoring the imbalance of tissue salts illnesses can be cured.

Dosage

Biochemic remedies act on homeopathic principle where extremely small doses are given to cure the patient. The aim is to bring about a perfect balance of the tissue salts in our body. Biochemic remedies are administered in minimal doses that are just required to make up for the deficient tissues. Single mineral salts or their combinations with other mineral salts are given in small doses to treat various ailments.
